The NBA fined Shaquille O'Neal (Mia) $10,000 and Miami $25,000 for O'Neal
failing to make himself available to the media following Sunday's Dal-Mia
game.

Charlotte will have the #50 draft pick from Sacramento (via the Jason Hart
trade) as Orlando (who had first dibs at the pick) elected not to receive
the pick this year and will now receive Sacramento's 2nd round pick in
2007.
